Interesting fact:

The Geordie phrase "whey-aye", pronounced more like "Why eye" has a latin derivation, and should probably be spelled Wii - but Nintendo trademarked the name. It was originally the plural of Wus as in Wimp.

So Newcastle Brown drinkers, seeing la-de-da southerners drinking their lager shandies, would shout out "whey-aye man!" meaning 'there are some wimps, old chap"

This is the accusative plural, of course.

(not quite true - it's not so bad. And I'll drink pretty much anything).

So that's what they meant when they told me they were sucking on a dog?

If only I'd known we could have avoided the rift in our family!
